Product Description
Review
"...established itself as a standard work." New Testament Ament Abstracts "...Wenham's Elements proved to be an excellent and highly successful textbook for average college students." Religious Studies Review
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
First published in 1965, The Elements of New Testament Greek has, over the years, established itself as the standard textbook for scholars and students of the Bible. The book is now reissued with a number of small revisions and additions, and a more substantial change concerning the recitation of the alphabet. Otherwise, the aim of this perennially popular book remains as before: to present the elements (and only the elements) of new Testament Greek as simply, clearly, and completely as possible, so that the student may be spared all unnecessary toil, and may make rapid progress in understanding the lingua franca of the Hellenistic world.

I have just finish working my way through this book and although it my have been an arduous task at times it was most certainly a beneficial one. I have seen other text books that my make learning New Testament Greek look more fun but they do not have Wenham's depth or structure. This revised edition is also most beneficial for those in my generation that were not taught grammar at school; every thing is explained unpatronisingly and intellectually. You'll find you know a lot more about English as well as having a full grasp of New Testament Greek.

This used to be the standard text for many years and, to be honest, it is OK. However, there are much better ways to study Greek than this.
I have on my shelf a collection of 10+ different basic Greek grammars - from the very old to the very new. This is the best of the older ones and better than several new ones in different ways. However, it doesn't even come close to the best.
If you want to learn NT Greek you should not be distracted by this new marketing push of an outdated text. Buy "The Basics of Biblical Greek" by Bill Mounce (both the grammar & workbook)and then continue on through the consistently excellent Zondervan series as you progress. You won't regret it!
I tried many grammars including this one - I wish I had found Mounce's first.

I had recently used Wenham's Elements of NT Greek as an undergraduate, but I was keen to maintain my facility in reading the NT, consequently, I thought that even though I would be buying the same edition of the Elements, it would be worthwhile to get the two extras. One extra is called Syntax Lists for Students of NT Greek; this is highly to be praised, and a must for the serious student. I am glad to see that, unlike Wenham, it does not shy away from the three accents. The other extra produced by Cambridge University Press is the Audio CD containing the Vocabulary Words in Wenham; to my deep dismay, the sounds emanate from an American and thus are completely worthless for an Englishman. Overall, the set is not expensive. If you are English, you can discard the CD and still have good value in the two books.

Does what it says on the tin.
This is just the key to Wenham's Elements of NTG, not the actual book itself (as described above). Overall this book does exactly what it says on the tin. Read more

Good introduction but with reservation
On the whole I like this book. It is methodical, systematic and tries to present the material in a clear and simple way. My one reservation is the exercises and revisions. Read more
